Ray: How many speeds?
Also, did you try using the bar ends in friction mode? dougP -----Original Message----- From: rbw-owners-bunch@googlegroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ray Sent: Sunday, November 30, 2008 9:13 PM To: RBW Owners Bunch Subject: [RBW] Shifter Observation for all of you Techies As some of you may recall, I was having the worst auto-shifting problem with the Shimano bar-end shifters on my Canti-Rom. i tried all of the usual fixes, including new cables, fine adjustments to the derailer, etc., but the problem persisted anytime i was in the low end range of the 11-32 cass., particularly when on the center chain ring and the second and third larget cogs on the cass. I checked the chain an measured it for wear, but it was ok. So, after switching to DT shifters on my Atlantis, and using friction mode on it, I decided I'd try friction mode on the Romulus. Just like that, problem solved! In friction mode, no more auto-shifting at all. Not in any gear/chain ring combo. It's smoother, too, and did I mention quiet? This is info for you guys who wrench a lot and understand these things. All I know is that friction shifting is what I'll use from here on out. No more indexing for me.
